WILL – Going to.

We use will for predictions based on our opinion and for decisions taken at the moment of talking.

Structure:
- Affirmative: Subject + will + present simple of the verb chosen.
Example; -what are we going to have for lunch? –I don’t know… Well, I will cook some sausages.
- Negative: Subject + will not (won’t) + present simple of the verb chosen.
Example; - are you going to go to the fair? – Hmmm. I will not, I’m very tired.
- Interrogative: Will + Subject + present simple of the verb chosen.
Example; Will you eat those hamburgers?



We use going to for predictions based on something we can see, hear… And for decisions before hand (Plan actions.)


Structure:

Example; I am going to go to the cinema tomorrow.
- Negative: Subject + am not/aren’t/ isn’t + going to + present simple of the verb chosen.
Example; I am not going to go to the cinema tomorrow.
-Interrogative: am/are/ is + Subject + going to + present simple of the verb chosen + ?
